Gothic's Largest Storms

Below are a listing of the largest winter snow storms in Gothic since 1974.  This is somewhat subjective as to which I picked- I did so with a storm of around 250 cm (just over 90") within a storm period of around 2 weeks where there was only a day pause-gap within the storm.  This is listed in order by date.  The amount of inches (or cm) per day gives a good look at the intensity of the storm.

                                                       Most snow in a Single Day
This is the most snowfall in a 24 hour period sunset to sunset ending on the day shown below.  Note the huge difference in the % of water content in the different days, where unlike a long storm it could be whatever the conditions were for that one day.  They are listed by the amount of snow, not the water content.
